Happy Valentine’s Day, for those of you in the States.

Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 3am and woke/got up at 6:15.

I left the apt at 10 minutes to 9 and met Glenn outside Otra Parte at 9am. We walked the 3 blocks or so to AlfaMore in La Buena Mesa. They were still in the process of opening for the day but right away they put out a table and chairs for us. Glenn paid me the 25mil he owed me (he bet Mitch McConnell would acquit Trump and I took him up on that bet; Mitch “is who we thought he was”). We each had French toast (it came with honey instead of Maple syrup) but at least there was a little jelly of some type of berry. We each also had a couple coffees. I made a trip to the restroom and noted there was no toilet seat (they lose 2 review points for that) in the men’s room but I could see they have one in the women’s room (what’s up with that?). I mentioned to Glenn I wanted to make a trip back to Sweet Georgia café for an American breakfast (it’s in Laureles) and Glenn mentioned there was one in Poblado. I googled it and its only a block from Parque Poblado at Calle 9 #43B-115. Yay! We decided to go there next Sunday and if we don’t like it or they aren’t open we can always use Ganso y Castor as our backup. The bill came to 41mil each and he returned to his apt and I made a trip to the mall for our preferred brand of eggs before returning to the apt via taxi.

About 1pm the rain started and it lasted maybe a couple hours.

I lost my first game, ever, to Michael and my rating fell to 1470.

There’s been some talk on Expat Exchange about finding Johnsonville Sausage at Carulla’s in Medellin, so I asked Glenn to check the Carulla by his apt.

Nejcik resigned our game and my rating increased 2 points to 1472.

Joke of the day

The guy who fell into an upholstery machine last week is now fully recovered.
